Bayeux Tapestry Sails Film
This video is to help prove my theory that the images of the Norman invasion fleet in the Bayeux tapestry are true and correct interpretations of the type of sail used , the twisting/knots to reef the sail and the use of shields to support the steering and the aditional forward line to help depower the sail when required.If my theories are correct it implies we can rely a little more heavily on the details of this magnificent work.
